Headed for the Sky, hoping to get the New Year off to a rousing start! Got very, very cold! Temp at arrival, at 7:30 AM, was 25 degrees. On the river fishing, a bit before 8:00... fished just upstream of the Sultan bridge. River very low, very clear. Tried corky and yarn to begin, nada! Switched to eggs under a float, about 9:30 had one brief take-down, a brief run, and the hook came back empty. Fought iced guides and frozen fingers all morning. Switched to casting a spoon for a while, but nothing. Twice I saw dorsal fins along the current edges... think they were steelhead, obviously not boot salmon! Actually, a beautiful day on the river... sunny but cold morning... clouded up about noon. Love watching the eagles. PTL!

I also saw steelhead on the Snoqualmie doing the same thing, maybe something to do with the cold weather.
